Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur.Depends on New Hampshire. I'm waiting until an agency calls it before I bother bringing that into the mix...
That said, I don't think Obama will take all three of those states... Just two of them.
Romney can have Missouri - they're red as fucking South Carolina. JUST AS LONG AS THERE IS SOCIAL JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD, Akin needs to pack up and go!!

Even without Ohio or any other lean Huff Post have Obama at 158, he only needs 192 plus the west coast (and Hawaii) for a win. So that's 158+29 for Florida =187 so then it's just New Mexico (5) and you have 192 which combined with the 78 from east coast plus Hawaii (4+55+7+12) makes 270.
